One day, as I was passing the elephants, I suddenly stopped, 16 by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. It was __17__that they could, at any time, break free, 18 strangely enough, they didn’t. I asked a trainer the 19 for this. He said, “When they were very young we used the 20 size rope, and it was enough to hold them. As they grow up, they believe the rope can 21 hold them, so they never try.” Like the elephants, how many of you believe you cannot do a thing, simply because you 22 once before? Do you often tell 23 “I cannot dance” or “I’m not good at math”? These are 24 of self limiting beliefs. You must realize you’re 25 for them. A limiting belief that says you’re poor at math may have 26 as a reaction to the embarrassing experiences related to math, or the remarks made by someone important to you which 27 you. The cool thing is that because you create the ___28___you can choose to change it! Here is how: First, 29 it with “I am good at math”. Once you change your 30 , your subconsciousness will make this 31 by driving you to act. That might be to take a math course or to go online 32 help, etc. Gradually you’ll really see your math skills are 33 . This is such a simple process that you can 34 it today. Don’t be like the poor elephant and make your life 35 at a place because of a limiting belief you developed years ago. 16．A. excited B. confused C. discouraged D. worried 17．A. impossible B. doubtful C. uncertain D. obvious 18．A. but B. or C. and D. so 19．A. case B. result C. reason D. choice 20．A. same B. bigger C. smaller D. different 21．A.
